A MARTYR to Virtue
THE FUNERAL OF MAGGIE MCCARTHY,
WHO DIED DEFENDING HER HONOR.

THE FUNERAL OF MAGGIE MCCARTHY,
WHO DIED DEFENDING HER HONOR.
Maggie Mccarthy, the pretty
young servant in the household Of
Rev. w. M. Smith, assistant pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church in
Cleveland, Ohio, who died defend
ing her honor, was buried on the
26th of April. Rev. Father Thorpe,
Of st, Johns Cathedral, delivered
the sermon. Among other things
ne said "This murderer belongs TO
a class that females would be JUST
fled in arming themselves against.
They would be justified in striking
down the man that insulted them.
l know of no crime that cries to
Heaven as that of this wretch who
still lives, but who will bejudged by
God. oh, friends, is it not conso
lation that we have found women in
our land who will lay down life soon
er than honor. Such chastity and
virtue is a consolation to mourning
friends. She died for honor, she
died for purity, she died martyrs
death, and may God have mercy on
her soul. That spirit that no base
nand can lay touch upon has gone
to God, and may God receive"
At the conclusion of the address
the vast assemblage was in tears.

THE NOMINATING SPEECH. Fol.
lowing is the speech of Mr.. Gettinger
in nominating Judge Faulkner
"MR. PRESIDENTIAL crisis has
come in the history of the State and the
Democratic party. While it is being
deplored it has to be met. Senator
Camden has, as the gentleman from
Gilmer said, kindly withdrawn his name
in the interest Of the party. a will add
that he has magnanimously done this
and in his letter announcing to his
friends that fact, coupled with it the
further fact that it was his earnest wish
that wenow agree upon, and elect a
good and earnest Democrat to fill his
place in the United States Senate. 1t
is our duty in every view of the case to
do this. To show my earnestness of
purpose to effect this and to be consis-
tent with the vote gave for resolu-
ton declaring it to be our duty to elect,
/ propose to present the name gentle
men whose election would reflect cred
1t upon our State and upon us, and
from all circumstances surrounding the
case as it now exists, would be able,
willing and competent to effect a re-
Cancellation between the differing fac
tions and restore harmony, unity and
fraternity in the grand old party and
put us in position to demolish the pref
ty schemes of our Republican friends
for 1888, and result in great and glo-
rious victory for united Democracy.
When united we never fail in West
Virginia. 1t is my honest judgment
we can do this five elect Hon. G. J.
Faulkner, of Berkeley county, personal
character is without blemish, who as
Democrat is aggressive, earnest, un-
selfish and devoted, and as an organi-
ger hardly has an equal. AS to the
duties attaching to the position of a
United States Senator his discharge of
them | am sure would be such as too
put us at no disadvantage, but with
Kenna and Faulkner IN the Senate we
would be represented, as to statesman
ship or political, sagacity second to no
other state. now present his name
and hope it will be the pleasure Of
every Democrat in this body to cast his
vote for him."

The coal beds OF China are five
times ms large as those of Europe,
while gold, silver, lead, tin, copper,
iron, marble and petroleum are all

Owing to the prejudice of the peo-
pie the mines have never been work

belief in China that if these mines
are opened, thousands OF demons
and spirits imprisoned in the earth
would come forth and fill the coun-

Then there are lazy ways OF
breathing and one-sided ways Of
breathing, and the particularly bad
habit of breathing through the
mouth. Now the nose was meant
to breath through, and it is marve-
lousy arranged for filtering the inn
purties out of the air and for chang
ing it to a suitable temperature for
entering the lungs. The mouth has
no such apparatus, and when the air
is swallowed through the mouth in
stead Of breathing through the nose
it has an injurious effect upon the
lungs.

And even the birds, transported with

Seem ever repeating: ''Come hither, my

the Editor of the Tntelisgeac, ..

To the Editor Of the IRteu9gcncsr.
SIR Yesterday mornings issue
of your paper contained the william.
Gus proclamation Of General Thorn
as l.. Rosser to the citizens of the
Valley of Virginia ito starve ontn
Phil Sheridan if he should attempt
to visit that valley. This infamous
act of intimidation to the great mill
tary head Of the nation smacks of
the devilish, and comes in bad grace
at this day from such source. Gen
eral Rosser seems to forget the pre-
cedents set by his own brother mar
auders j. Il. b. Stuart and McCaus-
land The former levied black
mail of 100000 on the innocent and
unarmed people of York, Pa, in
1868, and to save their city from
@his barbarous torch they paid it;
and the latter burnt the city Of
Cham bersburg, Pa, in 1864. And
again, this migrate, Rosser forgets
one of Sheridan's first and truest
lieutenants, General George A. Gus
ter, years after the wer, met Thomas
j.. Rosser tramp along the line of
the Northern Pacific railroad (then
being built) and Custer. always true
and chivalrous, secured for his late
foe and brother West Pointer a con-
tract put him on the road to ease and
affiuence, and to-day he owes his
wealth to Custer. And now this un
repentent rebel says "Sheridan has
done nothing since the war to atone
for his cruel barbarism during the
war;
Oh such cheek Must Sheridan
atone Atone for what Does Ros-
ser ask Phil Sheridan to apologize
for Opequon, must Sheridan beg the
pardon of the South for Fishers
Hill. Will glorious "Little Philp
tell Mr.. Rosser and his comrades
I'm sorry | ever took that ride from
Winchester town" to Cedar Creek
Oh no. Phillip Henry is not con.
structed in that way
Does not this Government, and
Phil Sheridan, the head Of its armies
show all the christian kindness and
forbearance that the Savior taught.
when it permits General Thomas L.
Rosser and thousands Of other unre-
pentent rebels to live and still boast
of their treason?
The boys who followed Sheridan
in 1864 are not asking forgiveness,
nor apologizing for destroying the
granary and the market house Of the
Rebel army. Our hearts were NOV
ed then when the women and chill
dren cried as the barns and mills
were burned before them, but that
was striking telling blow at trea-
son, at rebellion and at General Ros-
ser and his followers, whose barns
and mills we burned (Rosser's COM
mand was made up in the Shenan-
doah Valley and we have not yet
repented it, and never will SO long
as open, blatant unrepented treason

LAST Friday our sanctum sanctori-
UNI was frightened with the genial
presence of Brothers Snyder, of the
Shepherdstown Register, and Trimble,
of the Morgan Mercury, who were
in town to see the elephants and camels
with Forepaugh's great circus. We
were pleased to greet them both, and
hope they spent pleasant time while
here. Friend Snyder is as handsome as
ever and the fact that he is married
man alone saved him from the fascinat-
ing smiles of Martinsburg' fair lassies.

] Thought 1t might interest some of the
readers of THE RECORD If gave in my
plain way a sketch OF Jacksonville, Flori-
de-, and its business advantages. 1t has
resident population of $4,000. Winter
visitors and tourists increase 1t to over
10000. 1t is growing rapidly and is the
metropolis and business centre of the
state. Running into 1t are The Jackson
vile and Atlantic, Savannah, Florida and
Key West, Savannah, Florida and West
ern, Augusta and Halifax, and Florida
Railway and Navigation Co. Railroads.
besides, there are steamers to New York
and elsewhere, which makes it the dis
tributing point for large part of the
state. Its business consists of almost all
OF Florida's wants. 1t also is known to
most persons as resort TOR invalids and
tourists In the winter months. Hotels are
first-olass; prices accordingly. Fortunate
ly for me, escape them, as my son A..

ant part of the city, and we are with
them. The building is surrounded by
eighty orange trees, and as l am how
writing III A. NJ with windows up, the
thermometer TAO, 1t is easy to see that
1t is inviting to those who suffer from
cold.
The cold snap, as 1t is termed here,
about the first of this month, injured
oranges to some extent and marred the
beauty Of the flowers and foliage.
There is but little manufacturing here.
Lumber and ice are the principal or at
least the most extensive. The stores of
all kinds are well stocked, prices reasona-
BILE. Groceries at wholesale are cheap,
but at retail the prices are fearful. North
ern potatoes are bought for two dollars
and half per barrel, and retailed at ten
cents per quart, amounting to eight dol
lars per barrel. Beots and many other
articles are sold by the quart, and market
Ing in small way is dear, yet the mar
kets are we'll supplied and reasonable
prices are asked for larger purchases Of
such things as Chicago beef, Florida deer,
bear and other meats fish (Which Ia
abundant), including shad and oysters;
green peas and beans; and fruits, such as
oranges, bananas and host Of others.
AT least eighty per cent. of the business
is done by northern men and Jews. The
colored people in the same proportion dc
the work as mechanics, draymen, porters,
walters, &c. One thing certainly is cheap

Aha,,. Fair.

In Montana court suit involving the
title to six mining claims was several years
ago decided by Judge W. in some mysteri-
BUS way by which he gave four claims to
one side and two to the other. After the
decision was announced on attorney in the
case met one of the litigants. an honest
old Missourian, and asked him what he
thought of it. WALL" he replied, 81
think Judge W. did about the far thing.
Yer see, thar war four of us an two O them.
That would be claim apiece. An the
Judge he guy four claims to US an two to
